A story notes that

[...] according to a new U.S. Army report, Americans could face a horrifically grim future from climate change involving blackouts, disease, thirst, starvation and war. The study found that the US military itself might also collapse. This could all happen over the next two decades, the report notes.

[...] The report paints a frightening portrait of a country falling apart over the next 20 years due to the impacts of climate change on "natural systems such as oceans, lakes, rivers, ground water, reefs, and forests.

Current infrastructure in the US, the report says, is woefully underprepared: "Most of the critical infrastructures identified by the Department of Homeland Security are not built to withstand these altered conditions."

    Oh fuck you Mr. Pipeline defender, champion of corporate greed. The hard won gains WE have made are IN SPITE OF people like you. So don't go trying to take advantage of a better reality now like you aren't one of the people that try hardest to block it.

    "Hard won gains" like shitty appliances, and expensive electricity and gas? I think you need to read the definition of "gain".

    So don't go trying to take advantage of a better reality now like you aren't one of the people that try hardest to block it.

    Sorry, I'm not an idiot. When you actually do come up with a better reality, even if by accident, I'll be all over it.

        It couldn't be that you have nothing to say, right?
